Cosmic-Dance

I think I must be on some cosmic journey this week because today is about exploring the parts of me that have been hidden.  Most amazing because I have realized that all of the wonder hidden inside of me is right there and has been all along.  As I step into this wonderment, I have those around me that have seen it as well.  I must have had it hidden from me pretty damn good, but I am glad that all of those “thousand falling stars” are landing in my hands to gaze at with wonder and awe.

One of my favorite lines in this song is, “Somewhere inside you, there is a wild frontier.”  The wild frontier is inside all of us – we just have to disappear from our outer selves and “take a journey” to that unknown region.

Source is saying, “What I can show you will take your breath away!”  The Lover is there waiting to embrace us and show us the beauty of those stars inside.  The Lover inside is waiting to catch the stars of our amazingness and wonder.  Are you ready to take the journey?  I am on that most excellent “dance on the moon” as I dance “round and round the Milky Way” with my Lover – my Self that has been waiting to shine – that star that is me, the beauty of me. Ready to know what I found this morning?

I am most beautiful inside and out!  Yes, I am!  Every line is a testament to experiences and joy and laughter and tears in my life.  The way my body moves, how my skin feels, how my smile lights my face.  I found the Lover in me!  Those stars that are falling are falling in me to bring the shine to my world.

Take a listen to the song. Close your eyes and disappear! Take that journey!  Discover your beauty within. If you embrace that beauty within, the Lover cannot help but laugh and dance you around letting the world see that beauty without!

Do not let those in your life that cause you pain and self-doubt tear you down and make you feel less that worthy.  Because, my Love, you are most beautiful and most worthy!  Dance Naked in the Stars and watch those “thousand stars falling down” into your heart, your soul, your very being.  My Love, you are the most beautiful creature in the Lover’s eyes.  How could you doubt it?

 

Don’t Hold Me Down

Today’s music muse – Don’t Hold Me Down by Colbie Caillet

When I opened this song this morning, my first thought was “Wow”!  It felt that Colbie was in my head and my heart.  The first stanza says,

I’m just so tired of these troubles that I try to hide.
Makes me wanna wash away my whole world inside.
I think it’s time that I make changes in the things I do.
This weight on my chest I am ready to loose.

I have been in the process of making “changes in the things I do” for several years, and there are times when I feel as if I am in a hamster cage running around and around in circles going nowhere.  I have kept my real feelings hidden for a very long time – wanting to make changes, yet not sure how.  Not being one to shy away from a fight, I go round after round pulling myself to a new place.  Sometimes, it is a good place, and sometimes, it feels unsafe and toxic.  It is those times that weigh me down for a while until I break away.  Over time, the weight of the struggle and battle feels too much, so I hide.  My mother-in-law had a saying that fits here.  “I just keep putting one foot in front of the other.”  Wait, it gets better!

Second stanza:

I have been rocking back and forth across the line.
Hanging for a moment on the wrong side.
Now I’m standing up, I think I’ll be here for a while.
Hope I remember how to keep on this steady smile.

“I have been rocking back and forth across the line – hanging for a moment on the wrong side.”  So, all I can say is, “That!”  I’ve been on the wrong side often trying to crawl out of self-dug holes.  I’m at the edge, standing up and standing strong.  That steady smile?  I smile because I am standing up!  And now for the chorus:

Don’t hold me down.
Oh, I was getting so far.
Don’t hold me down.
Cause I don’t wanna fall apart.
Don’t hold me down.
You see me waking up and feel it now.
I’m breaking down and nothing’s gonna stop me now.

We do get in our own way, don’t we?  Often, it is easy to blame the people in our lives, but in the end, it is up to our own selves.  If someone else gets in the way or holds us down, it is because we allow it.  We can wake up and say no to ourselves.  Say yes to be strong and speak your voice.  What do you want to break through?  Are you ready to wake up?  It is that waking up process that breaks down the walls and obstacles and lets us soar.  Finally,

I know I’m gonna fight it.
I’m tired of being blinded.
So….

I won’t hold me down.
Oh, I wanna go so far.
I won’t hold me down.
I don’t wanna fall apart.
Don’t hold me down.
You see you’re waking up and feel it now.
I’m breaking down and nothing’s gonna stop me now.

No, no.
Nothing’s gonna stop me now.

Saying, “I know I’m gonna fight it” seems like a self-prophecy, but we are, after all, human.  And when we move out of our comfort zones, it is our nature to fight it – even if that comfort zone is not a good place.  But making the statement, “I won’t hold me down,” and “Nothings gonna stop me now” is a ground breaking step.  Don’t hold yourself down!  “You see you’re waking up and feel it now!”  Wake up!

“I’m breaking down and nothings gonna stop me now!”
